Any of them! But then I do live here!!!

Be warned though!

This time of year there are loads of speed camara vans, and the police are quite keen on using choppers then stopping you ten miles down the road.

If your going to do a bit of "spirited driving" avoid the A roads like the A44,A483,A5 as they are popular with the bikes so get a lot more police attention. The B roads on the other hand biggrin .

Watch out fpr the speed traps though, you will need to do some research before you go - the horseshoe pass is amazing, as is the denbigh moors - and the whole of snowdonia is nice, but the police spend a lot of time there!
be careful.

Definitely take the TVR! I grew up and spent all my early driving years in North Wales - the Snowdonia area and its surrounds are strewn with fantastic roads - EVO triangle too (though apparently heavily policed these days?). Get up there, pick a few and have a blast.

I still get up there for a hoon whenever I can, haven't found anywhere comparable down south; great sweeping and challenging roads, fantastic scenary and great visability most of the time - though liable to rain in places smile. Will be going up in a few weeks myself.

I never once had a problem with police/speed traps, but many say they have. This chopper business must be new! North Wales Police used to publicise the locations of the so-called "Arrive Alive" speed vans in local papers and, I think, on-line. Worth googling to see if they still do.

Have fun.
